Honeymoon: Switzerland

WHERE TO STAY: The Dolder Grand (thedoldergrand.com) is a destination unto itself and will provide all the honeymoon pampering you desire. And definitely book a suite: You’ll get spacious sitting rooms, private balconies (in the new wing), and panoramic views of the Alps, the lake or the city.

WHAT TO PACK: Regardless of the time of year, Zürich is a chic, modern city and you will want to dress accordingly, with lots of options for layering, depending on the temperature. Plus, at the Dolder, everyone dresses up for dinner and drinks.

BEST TIMES TO GO: The climate is very similar to the weather in Philly — winters tend to be damp, overcast and cold; summers, hot and sunny. August is an especially good month to visit, while June and July tend to be the wettest months.

NEWLYWED NEWS: The Dolder Grand’s Honeymoon Getaway package includes a two-night stay in one of the resort’s deluxe double rooms, limo service from the airport, champagne and special room decoration, a welcome drink at the bar, a seven-course dinner in the Restaurant, a 90-minute couples massage, his-and-hers facials, and a personal shopping tour.

GETTING THERE: US Airways flies nonstop to Zürich daily in just under eight hours, and the resort is a mere 20-minute drive from the airport. Coming home, leave a little extra time at ZRH to travel from the check-in to your gate.
